8 Things

Melanie at Tea Leaves and Tea Reads tagged me for this meme. I had been tagged for 7 things at Bayou Quilts, so I just added an additional item.

The rules - 1: Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.2: People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.3: At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.4: Don't forget to leave them a comment and tell them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I was a gymnast when I was young, and my joints remind me everyday.2. Licorice is a guilty secret. Love it, but only once in a great while will I indulge in those love black twists.3. My last pair of toe shoes, battered and worn, are still in a box in my closet.4. I made a 9 patch quilt for my granddaughter's first birthday. It was something I had always wanted to do, and I'm still proud of that quilt. Mila will be 4 this month, and both she and quilting have delighted me for these past 3 years.5. Since July of last year, I've only been to Tai Chi a handful of times. I miss it and don't have the discipline to really practice without having class. If I'm going to class, I will practice, but without that incentive, I'm too lazy.6. In connection to Tai Chi, I may be the only grandmother among you with a saber and a straight sword. Love my weapons!7. My favorite city is Edinburgh, and I hope to attend the Fringe Festival there once more before I am too old and decrepit to enjoy it!8. I am not a witty or funny person, but I'm a great appreciator of and audience for those who are. My daughters are both quick-witted and funny like their father, and I sometimes laugh until I'm in tears at their repartee'. I don't even attempt to telljokes, much less ad lib!

So I'm tagging the following (but please do not feel obligated; as Melanie mentioned, it is just for fun):

So many things I never would have known about you without this meme! I love black licorce, but rarely indulge in it myself. And although I suppose I can claim to be a gymnist at an early age, I wasn't much good at it and so it didn't last long. LOL

Stephanie - I've been amazed at how many people have said they like licorice (I did a similar meme on my other blog)as most people say they hate it. Oh yeah, I worked hard for several years to get the saber, then after another year and a half, the straight sword. Master Guerin is an excellent teacher and makes us work for those weapons.

Lisa - It is fun to see what everyone else has put...lots of surprises!

Jenclair, I really do love these "getting to know you" tags! How lovely to belong to a family where most everyone has a sense of humor...the days when all of you get together must be ones with lots of fun and laughter!

I have promised myself I will to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh some day, until then I will have to make do with the Toronto one which isn't too bad actually!

Lotus - You are so lucky to have a Fringe Festival right at home. What fun! I've never been to Canada, but maybe I should plan a trip for next summer, catch the Toronto Fringe, and visit Prince Edward Island!

Yes, Jenclair, please do!!! I'd be delighted to forward you information on the festival as soon as I know if and when it is happening in 2008, also, I would love to meet you when you stop by my city!!!
